Fingerprint-based user authentication scheme for home healthcare system

Home healthcare system is one of the most promising technologies from which more and more people begin to benefit. Different from the traditional paper-based information record, almost all of the patients´ information is nowadays stored and transferred via digital system. Merely by accessing to the system, home healthcare users can obtain their information and receive remote treatment. However, this quick and easy access results in information security risks which has received great attention from many researchers. In this paper, we propose a fingerprint-based remote user authentication scheme that allows home healthcare system users to execute identity authentication by using smartphone alone. Simultaneously, our proposed scheme is secure against common vulnerabilities and can be used practically.
